Group plans to lobby
for new law allowing
off-track horse betting
No
AUSTIN (AP) — An organization
of Texas horsemen plans to lobby
legislators next year for a law allow
ing off-track betting on pari-mutuel
races and televised simulcasting of
races across the state, it was reported
Thursday.
The Austin American-Statesman
said backers of the idea say the pro
posals would boost state revenues,
purses and proceeds for tracks from
gambling.
“The life and salvation of racing is
simulcasting and off-track betting,”
said Loyd Miles of Fort Worth, re
gional chairman of the new Texas
division of the Horsemen’s Benevo
lent and Protective Association.
Off-track betting would allow
placing of wagers at locations other
than tracks. Simulcasting allows bet
tors at various tracks to bet on major
races at other tracks as they are tele
vised.
The plan drew sharp criticism
from anti-gambling forces. It also
was called “dead on arrival” by a
sponsor of the state racing law.
Sue Cox, .a leader of trie anti-rac
ing Texans Who Care, said she had
thought it would be at least two years
before racing backers proposed of f
track betting in Texas.
“I am truly shocked,” Cox said. “I
thought they would get up and run
ning before they moved to simulcast
ing and off-track betting."
Pari-mutuel wagering on horse
and dog races was approved on a lo
cal-option basis by voters in Novem
ber. The still-organizing State Rac
ing Commission has yet to write
regulations or approve tracks. Races
aren’t expected before autumn
peris say.
Miles told the American
man that the horsemen’s as
in Texas likely would propos

HUECO TANKS STATE HIS
TORICAL PARK (AP) — Hours af
ter officials decided to reopen
Hueco Tanks to rock climbers after
a three-week moratorium, park
rangers were fielding calls from peo
ple from as far away as Europe, a
spokesman said Wednesday.
“Hueco Tanks is one of two good
winter-climbing spots in the United
States,” David Cottom, spokesman
for the Texas Parks and Wildlife De
partment, said. “The world climbing
community is tight-knit; you
wouldn’t believe how fast word gets
around.”
Officials closed the 860-acre park
about 35 miles east of El Paso to
climbers about three weeks ago after
rangers discovered that a rash of
steel bolts had been embedded in the
rock in January, mostly by Euro
peans.
Some climbers had even used
epoxy — a kind of strong adhesive
— to create handholds and foot
holds on the sheer rock faces.
Rock climbers often embed bolts
into rock to secure safety ropes.
Most climbers use bolts only to halt
falls and consider it cheating to use
them as handholds or footholds.
“A lot of (bolts) are for safety, but
these aren’t for safety,” said park
ranger Bob Parker, pointing at three
bolts in the face of a 30-foot-high
boulder. “Bolts like these are for ac
robatics. That’s what we disagree
with.”
Because the park was established
a decade ago to protect the ancient
Indian rock paintings found in the
area’s nooks and crannies, rangers
felt they had to institute the climbing
moratorium to assess any damage.
Late last week, after deciding that
none of the rock paintings were en
dangered, officials lifted the mora
torium and iK-gan the taskofttf 1 ! 1 ? 1111 ^’
